High impact information on capaR

  • Because capa-1 and -2 and related insect neuropeptides stimulate fluid secretion in insect Malpighian (renal) tubules, the identification of this first insect capa receptor will advance our knowledge on insect renal function [1].
  • The Drosophila Genome Project website contains an annotated gene (CG14575) for a G protein-coupled receptor [1].
